3 Exercises to Amp Up Your Push-Ups

You've mastered the basic push-up. You can smash 'em out in your sleep and you eat 'em for breakfast. Amazing! Now, you've gotta up the ante if you want to keep seeing gains, cause once you're knocking out push-ups like Taylor Swift singles, your body is going to start getting bored of them andyou will plateau.

It happens. Plateaus are part of any long-term fitness regime, and thankfully, they're easy enough to break. One of thebest ways to do this is to simply take things up a notch. This does not necessarily mean you have to workout longer, but simply with more intensity.

So, let's crank it! Here are three push-up variations that will challenge your push-up performance. Featuringunilateral training to promote total body strength and balance,plyometrics to enhance calorie burn and muscle gains, and combo moves to increase coordination and agility, these moves will help you build a stronger, leaner body.

Try 'em out!
